The decision of banker’s not to give fresh crop loan has put more then 2 million cotton farmers in fix as money lenders too exploiting the situation and more & more farmers are being forced to commit suicide as they are failed to do sowing ,kishortiwari of VJASadded In Press Note.

Earlier NABARD announced that banker will go to door step of the every farmer to give them crop loan but in fact now they have asked bankers not to give fresh crop loan to any illegible farmer where as farmers main demand of complete loan waiver has been shown the dust bin, it’s really unfortunate kishortiwari said.

MAHARASHTRA CHIEF MINISTER ISONAMERICA TOUR

Here in Maharashtra since June -2005 there is mass genocide of cotton farmers and more than 4000 farmers suicides have officially reported by the sate administration and it has been widely published in American media too,it is ridicules for the mahrashtra chief minister to invite American MNCSfor direct investment in the dying land of vidarbha.
